Part 1 of this article compares RITM's recent investment composition, leverage, hedging coverage ratio, quarterly BV, economic return (loss), and current valuation to 19 mREIT peers. Due to what has occurred during Q4 2024 (fluctuating rates/yields), understanding the composition of RITM's MSR/investment and derivatives portfolio is crucial in understanding current/future performance. My current RITM BV projection and updated price target is in the “Conclusions Drawn” section. RITM is currently deemed undervalued (buy recommendation).
Rithm Capital investors have underperformed the market recently, even as the S&P 500 surged to new records. RITM's attractive dividend yield of 9% attracted dip-buying at its November lows as investors reacted to a higher-for-longer interest rate outlook. The return of the Trump adminstration is expected to be inflationary, potentially lifting Rithm's MSR portfolio.
Rithm Capital Corp. offers a 9% dividend yield with strong coverage and potential upside, performing well in both rising and declining interest rate environments. The company's diversified strategy, including mortgage servicing rights and mortgage origination, positions it well against interest rate fluctuations, unlike many other mREITs. Recent results show strong profitability with an earnings yield close to 20%, and a growing cash position providing flexibility for future investments.
RITM's third-quarter 2024 interest income jumps 19.1% year over year.
